“The Cr-48 and Google’s Chrome OS makes a great light
vacationing computer. But can it and will it replace tens of
millions of PCs? I think the answer is yes.

“As I type this, I’m sitting on the balcony of my vacation
timeshare in Florida overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

“I considered leaving all of my primary computing devices home
this Christmas vacation, and seeing if I could “Rough it” with just
our Android-based smartphones.

“Instead, I decided I would compromise — this vacation, I
left my prized iPad and my work laptop PC home, and brought along
two unproven traveling companions — a Google Cr-48 Chrome
OS-powered notebook and another device which I’ll discuss in a
future article.”
